Nehemiah 8:1-3, 5-6, 8-10 1
In Nehemiah 8-12, Nehemiah and Ezra join forces to bring about a spiritual renewal. They bring the people together; they read and teach the Torah for seven days. They celebrate the feast of Tabernacles, offer a confession of sin, vow to renew the covenant and follow the laws of the Torah. This all ends with a great celebration.
